Giving People Access

Some of the best leaders I know
are also
some of the most accessible people I know.
They talk to everyone,
whether they’re in an elevator
or on a plane.
They’re constantly gathering
ideas and information and insights.

In a New York Times interview,
David Barger,
president and chief executive of JetBlue,
shared

“…I really believe in giving people
the opportunity to have access.
There’s got to be other people within JetBlue
who can run this company
who are not just my direct reports.
They’re in the organization
and they’ve got great careers ahead of them.”

Look for talent and ideas and information
everywhere.
